We don't need a dummy type for keeping track of the available room in
the resource table in the loaded firmware. All we need to do is to look
at the sh_size of the .resource_table section, which actually is what's
returned in tablesz.

So the spare size is the difference between tablesz and the end of the
last resource and if you need you can pad this when composing the
firmware.
